From the main menu, under the Radio Interface 802.11g, click Security. Set the SSID for each VAP
interface and select Enable. Click Apply.
Enable – Enables radio communications on the access point. (Default: Disable)
SSID – The name of the basic service set provided by the access point. Clients that want to connect
to the network through the access point must set their SSID to the same as that of the access point.
(Default: Foundry AP; Range: 1-32 characters)
Radio Mode – Selects the operating mode for the 802.11g wireless interface. (Default: 802.11b+g)
• 802.11b+g - b & g mixed mode: Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the
access point (up to 54 Mbps).
• 802.11b only - Both 802.11b and 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point, but
802.11g clients can only transfer data at 802.11b standard rates (up to 11 Mbps).
• 802.11g only - Only 802.11g clients can communicate with the access point (up to 54 Mbps).
Note: For Japan, only 13 channels are available when set to 802.11g only or 802.11b+g modes.
When set to 802.11b only mode, 14 channels are available.
Radio Channel – The radio channel that the access point uses to communicate with wireless
clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring
access points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other. For example, in the
United States you can deploy up to three access points in the same area (e.g., channels 1, 6, 11).
Also note that the channel for wireless clients is automatically set to the same as that used by the
access point to which it is linked. (Range: 1-11; Default: 1)
Auto Channel Select – Enables the access point to automatically select an unoccupied radio
channel. (Default: Enabled)
